Umm actually if you look it doesn't mention a 2 Disc DVD set, it seems like they have stopped ripping DVD Buyers off in that way at least. I got the recent All Star Superman on the Two-Disc DVD and while the few extras were good, they could have very well included them on the 1st disc, IN FACT they could have fit the commentary on the Blu-Ray on the DVD as well, the Blu-Ray version doesn't have more on it than the DVD in terms of amount of data

Sure, blu-ray players aren't quite as cheap as dvd players, but you can get one for about 80s bucks. It doesn't have much in the way of features, true, but a player of that level does have HDMI and component and plays the movie just fine.

It's becoming a self-fulfilling prophesy. Studios ratcheting their Blu-Ray content at the expense of DVDs; saying that DVD sales are down. But by doing that, I won't be buying as many new DVDs since the extras are very poor and in this case - squat. Right now the Blu owns... lets say maybe 25% of the market; the real, actual money being generated is in DVDs sales.

Will I jump to Blu? Probably not, but my reason isn't just about anger, it's also about time. The DVD format was introduced in 1998. Blu-Rays came on the scene in 2006 - less than a decade. I don't want to invest into a format that isn't long term. I expect a new 'thing', sure, but I want a library. I want it NOT to be obsolete after a short time.

I see it as studios wanting us to continuously re-buy their movies, never getting an actual library, which is what happened to the music industry; people upgraded their LPs to CDs, then bought less new titles - since most of it is c**p.

Three more years and a newer 'better' format will be introduced as the norm, 'you're not experiencing movies unless you watch it in...'. This could be the 3D presentation, maybe. Man, I feel sorry for all those guys/gals who bought the 3D glasses system, the new screens will be glasses free. Buy and re-buy.

My collection before DVDs was not on VHS, but laser disc. Should be noted that both formats lasted twenty years. It is that 'time' that made it safe to create a library. I didn't get burned with my LDs. It was a proper time to jump to a new format. A format that didn't require you to buy new equipment to enjoy it, but that's another rant.

I have no surface problems with other formats. But what I expect is the same content that isn't native to that architecture carry over. Blu-Ray is go great - let it stand on its own merits; hype the advantages - picture in picture commentary, movieIQ, Maximum Move Mode, Cinechat, BDLive, iPhone apps and connection to social networks. Just leave the commentaries, featurettes, bloopers, trailers, documentaries and galleries the same. Look, if Blu is truly king, then people will flock to it, a natural upgrade. It would be so obvious, little prodding would be required, such as the transition from VHS to DVD.

Lets make something very clear. Whatever that next format will be, DVDs won't carry over. It will probably play Blu-Ray discs. Buy and re-buy.

I have a library and probably by mid next month I'll hit 1,400 titles. Very cool. I just don't see myself owning movies in this format and that format and that format too. Which is why I don't purchase those combo sets.

This whole thing isn't about servicing the consumer needs, but studios wanting us to service them. And frankly, I don't want to play that game.

So I won't be buying "Emerald Knights", suits, you lost my greenbacks.

I'm really getting tired of this c**p, not everyone can afford a Blu-Ray Player, PS3 or HD TV's and its a bad marketing ploy to include features that could be put on a standard DVD as a Blu-Ray exclusive. I still wanna see the Darkseid documentary(on the Superman/Batman Blu-Ray), but can't cause its a blu-ray only feature. Warner Brothers has already made using youtube hell with not allowing anyone to use WMG owned music, now thay are forcing people to shell out 10 more dollars, no wonder th economy is in the slump all these people care about is money, not the fans. SCREW WB!!!!

That's what I thought they were doing giving both consumers a way to see all features and whichever way they can watch the film, but I found out that a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack doesn't allow you to watch the features on the Blu-Ray on a DVD, it just means your getting two versions in one set.
